Patient's question:
Baby born weighing 2.5 kg recently has been refusing to feed weakly or choking, looking like jaundice symptoms. It is said that if not treated in time, there may be a risk of living with sequelae such as intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, etc. It is very difficult. Hello, newborn jaundice jaundice has started refusing food, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Newborns with high jaundice may experience a recurrence of anorexia. In this case, it is necessary to check whether to take medication to reduce jaundice. Phototherapy can be used, which is a simple and effective method to reduce unconjugated bilirubin in the serum. Phototherapy works by converting bilirubin into isomers, transforming it from lipid-soluble to water-soluble, so that it is excreted from the body without passing through the liver, through bile or urine. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
